Sheesh, talk about a rookie mistake.
Dress rehearsals are intended to be a run-through under full production, not dev, conditions. You hope and pray you never discover problems during dress rehearsals, but they exist for a reason.
I see all the comments of people putting coins in jars and this is on a tech board where I expect most people to be reasonably good at arithmetic. Or is the problem that you don't have a reliable place to keep the coins?
I seldom have more than five pennies or three quarters on me at any given time because I deliberately pay out whatever it takes to get the next denomination. If price is $1.24 and I don't have exact change, I could pay $1.25 that means another penny in my wallet but if I pay $1.29, those four pennies in my wallet become one nickel. Later, I might toss that nickel at a transaction to get a single quarter back instead of two dimes. And I never pull out a $1 bill if I have four quarters.
The math is not that difficult though I do understand that it depends on me being able to keep my coins together and too many wallets have no useful coin purse.
And there are countries in Europe where if you do NOT do that sort of minimalist transaction arithmetic, you are given such a serious stink eye by the cashier that you think twice about going back again.

There are plenty of places that will take your exposed film, develop, and scan and/or print for you, by mail, or in-person, at least around here. If there's a Hunt's Photo near you, they do a great job.
If you only want digital photos printed, then there are many, many places that will print pro-grade photos for cheap, and the results will be a damn sight better than what you get at the local drug store.
Instead of just the average track error (the dotted black line), I'd be interested in the error of the average track position. In other words, get the track position at each timestamp for all models, average that, then determine the error.
You're describing the consensus models, and they are better than any individual model, at least thus far.
The second sentence explains it perfectly fine to a layperson, and anyone used to interpreting plots has no real problem even without the supplied explanation. The only points of confusion for someone unfamiliar with the different models are the are the labels.
This is mainly because institutions and systems that used to teach people how to do wisdom are lost. Modern age has information and tools to process it, but not the methods and practices to deal with bias and self-delusion,
Perhaps those railing against high schools, colleges, and even post-graduate education, need to go back and deal with their *own* biases and self-delusions. The institutions and systems are there.
[...] Which seems to infer that the majority would be capable of achieving high marks in college as well.

When the new options are demonstrably worse, the change has no clear motivation other than just being for change's sake, and the outcome will lead to a worsening of already poor ability to communicate, then, the answer is, "yes."

No, no, no.
This, this right here, this is enshittification.
There have been many studies at this point showing that exposure to dirt, dust, and dander early in childhood results in low rates of asthma. I'm personally fondest of the one a friend of mine (Hi Dubes!) worked on in Papua New Guinea where they found the westernization of formerly isolated cultures where dirt floors are replaced by cement results in an increase in asthma.
I recall recently hearing of a study where it was determined that when an infant's pacifier falls on the ground, and the parent cleans it by putting it in their own mouth first before returning it to the child, the children end up with substantially stronger immune systems than if the pacifier is cleaned more vigorously.
As with many aspects of developmental biology, we are born with scaffolding that needs to be trained in order to function properly. A lack of that training leads to disease. So, yes, let your kids play in the dirt.
Whether or not workers in a particular segment are unionized is entirely orthogonal to the quality of goods being produced and services being provided.
Enshittification is happening because of many factors, but perhaps the biggest single idea is "move fast and break things." When a company no longer values the customer experience, the customer experience is shitty. That effect has nothing to do with the organizational structure of the company.
Out of curiosity, I opened the web version (https://teams.microsoft.com/v2/, in Firefox 144.0, on Mint 22.2, using Cinnamon 6.4.8 on a Beelink mini-desktop). To make the usual "test call", I can't go to three-dots (...)--> Settings --> Calls --> Devices (there is no "Devices" under THAT version of "Calls"). However, I CAN go to the "Calls" menu on the far left of the window --> Custom Setup (gear menu) --> Device Settings, and then do a Test Call.
From there, all works fine, including sound and video. Of course, all my Sound Input/Output devices work OK in the OS itself....
